On August 16 my girlfriend and I went to Rome for 5 days. I
had never been there before but my girlfriend had, so she was
the tour guide.

As you can propably tell from the pictures the weather was
excellent and it made us very happy that a
"helicopter" was installed on the ceiling in our
hotel room.

The Catholic Church celebrated the "Gubileo 2000"
and somehow they had decided that a youth festival had to collide
with our visit. This meant that the city was just a little
crowded with young people from all over the world. For most of
the attractions you had to get in the very long line if you
had the patience.

We decided not to let us bother by that so we walked the
streets of Rome instead of using the overburdened public
transportation system. Some of the attractions we saw, you can
see on the pictures, e.g. Colosseum, Forum Romanum and the
Trevi Fountain.

Rome is an encredibly beautiful city, and just by looking
at the old ruins and thinking back 2000 years you can
practically see the master pieces that these buildings were.

We did not see all the attractions but then we have an
excuse for going to Rome another time. I'm already looking
forward to following the footsteps of Caesar.

In the evening we went out to try some of the many
restaurants in the city. It was almost always delicious, so
that gives me another thing to look forward to.
